Distracted

Whats wrong with 8-year-old Jesse? He raps, he swears, he’s in trouble at school. He is just too much. His distraught mother turns to the Internet, professionals and even well-meaning neighbors to seek help. Some say the problem is Attention Deficit Disorder; others blame allergies. Where will she find the answer? With her provocative sense of humor, award-winning playwright Lisa Loomer gives us a new play that asks: Are we so tuned into our info-rich, 24-7 world that we’ve tuned out the things that really matter? (Strong language). Each show in the Oregon Shakespeare festival performs in repertory. Distracted will perform in rotation with the other shows in the season; please visit www.osfashland.org for a full schedule.
